Worst Class In ESO?

Me and a buddy got into an argument about the new Warden class and I personally don't think it will be that good and he thinks it will be extremely viable. Then we got into an argument about the current classes in the game and which are the worst and best. I personally think Nightblades as a whole are the worst currently between PvE/PvP and Stam/Mag. I made this post for y'all to give me your opinions! This vote is for what you think is the WORST class.

    I vote Stam Dk. My main is a stam Dk. Its all I Play.

    But the problems are there. No mobility, No escape mechanism, No Aoe Disruptions, Dots are trashy and purgable, And all around just not a very mobile type of character at all.

    Don't get me wrong, Stam Dk's are strong with Proc set builds, but even that is a horrible crutch to have to use to make a character playable. Without proc sets, stam Dk's just wouldn't exist.

    The passives for the skill trees are pretty weak if your a solo pvp'r. The Dk can appear really tanky and strong, BUT ONLY WHEN A ZERG IS BEHIND IT. Most of the passives are designed for group buffing. The damage is just really weak and they do not have an escape ability. They are Only a really good tanky fighter when you got a zerg behind you backing you up with heals and buffs.

    I still believe that Stam DK needs a complete re work. Its not even about sustain issues, anyone can run a heavy attack high regen build and have good sustain, Its the damage issues and mobility that just make them really weak, and purgable low dps dots don't help. The burst damage without the proc sets is horrible. Dk is very weak and its my belief that Zos introduced proc sets specifically for Stamina Dk's to be viable damage dealers in pvp. When I look at my skill bar on my Stam Dk, Off the top of my head if I can recall correctly, THE ONLY CLASS SKILL ON MY BAR IS GDB ( just remembered sometimes I use Petrify too, but it gets rotated on and off the bar a lot). The rest is garbage. Unusable. Everything else comes from weapon trees. And honestly, In my opinion, That's just bad design.

    We probably need to have more skills per bar, like at least 7 to make a decent character playable.

    Majority of my characters are Stamblade and I didn't know what the meant till recently. Personally I think the real issue lies with the lack of stamina/heavy armor synergy. I'm used to more complex build options( TSW, PoE ) but trying to stay away from FotM and cookie cutter is really difficult here.

    Without heavy armor and a way to regain health, through ONLY stamina skills, I'm having a rough time with my main character who uses Bow/DW Werewolf. Playing my lowbie Stamplar is night and day comparison.

    Stam NB wins this one. Anyone who isn't passing around bull[snip] knows this is true. The superstar NBs people see around are the cheese build ones. And even then these NBs are doing more ganking and then running and disappearing than brawling and staying in a prolonged tussle with a tank or magicka sorc for example.

    I also can't recommend stam NB for dueling. What will any stam NB do in a duel to these monster tanks and magicka sorcs?

    And for PvE stam NB requires a lot more effort when you could as easily just play a templar or sorc.

    I am currently leveling a Nightblade.

    It is a pain in the behind till you get Refreshing Path/Mark Target and even then you are too squishy amd cant handle more than 2 mobs.

    Yesterday while killing Ra Gada captain in Velyn Harbor I have to use all of my spells (dmg/heals etc) and even then I died.

    In came a sorcerer (while i was rezzing out) the captain and his aides were downed in a matter of secs.

    All I saw and heard was lightning, fire,thunder and a big robot stomping the Ra Ga da captain..all in a matter of secs.

    Had to use all of my willpower from deleting my nightblade then

    The Place by Tony Walsh Please Read
    This is the place in the North West of England

    It’s ace, it’s the best and the songs that we sing

    From the stands, from our bands set the whole planet shaking

    Our inventions are legends! There’s nowt we can’t make and



    So we make brilliant music. We make brilliant bands

    We make goals that make souls leap from seats in the stands

    And we make things from steel and we make things from cotton

    And we make people laugh, take the mick summat rotten



    And we make you at home and we make you feel welcome

    And we make summat happen, we can’t seem to help it

    And if you’re looking for history then yes, we’ve a wealth

    But the Manchester way is to make it yourself



    And make us a record, a new number one

    And make us a brew while you’re up, love. Go on!

    And make us feel proud that you’re winning the league

    And make us sing louder and make us believe it



    that this is the place that has helped shape the world

    And that this the place where a Manchester girl

    Name of Emmeline Pankhurst from the streets of Moss Side

    Led a Suffragette City with sisterhood pride



    And this is the place with appliance of science

    We’re on it, atomic, we strut with defiance

    In the face of a challenge we always stand tall

    Mancunians in union delivered it all



    Such as housing and libraries, and health, education

    And unions and co-ops, the first railway station

    So we’re sorry! Bear with us! We invented commuters!

    But we hope you forgive us – we invented computers!



    And this is the place Henry Royce strolled with Rolls

    And we’ve rocked and we’ve rolled with our own Northern Soul

    And so this is the place to do business, then dance

    Where go-getters and goal setters know they’ve a chance



    And this is the place where we first played as kids

    And me Mam lived and died here, she loved it she did

    And this is the place where our folks came to work

    Where they struggled in puddles, they hurt in the dirt



    And they built us a city. They built us these towns

    And they coughed on the cobbles to the deafening sound

    Of the steaming machines and the screaming of slaves

    They were scheming for greatness, they dreamed to their graves



    And they left us a spirit, they left us a vibe

    The Mancunian Way to survive and to thrive

    And to work and to build, to connect and create and

    Greater Manchester’s greatness is keeping it great



    And so this is the place now we’ve kids of our own

    Some are born here, some drawn here but we all call it home

    And they’ve covered the cobbles, but they’ll never defeat

    All the dreamers and schemers who still teem through these streets



    Because this is a place that has been through some hard times

    Oppressions, recessions, depressions and dark times

    But we keep fighting back with Greater Manchester spirit

    Northern grit, northern wit in Greater Manchester’s lyrics



    And there’s hard times again in these streets of our city

    But we won’t take defeat and we don’t want your pity

    Because this a place where we stand strong together

    With a smile on our face, Mancunians Forever



    And we’ve got this* as the place where a team with a dream (*Forever Manchester)

    Can get funding and something to help with their scheme

    Because this is the place that understands your grand plans

    We don’t do No Can Do, we just stress Yes We Can!



    Forever Manchester’s a charity for people round ‘ere

    You can fundraise, donate. You can be a volunteer

    You can live local, give local. We can honestly say

    We do charity differently, that Mancunian Way



    And we fund local kids, and we fund local teams

    We support local dreamers to work for their dreams

    We support local groups and the great work they do

    So can you …help us help… local people like you?



    Because this is the place in our hearts, in our homes

    Because this is the place that’s a part of our bones

    ‘Cos Greater Manchester gives us such strength from the fact

    That this is the place. We should give something back.

    Always remember. Never forget. Forever Manchester.

    I don't feel it's necessary to rate a class based on who is and isn't allowed to join elitist raid groups in end game PVE. For me it comes down to the fact that Stam DK DPS is mushy in small group PVE and solo.

    The heavy attack meta seems like it was made for DK because of molten armaments, but it feels like fanning the air with heavy attack weaving is about as good as it gets for a Stam DK on the PTS. I've tried rearranging the build to get more resource sustain to pump out more skills per minute and try to make things interesting, but it's not any better than the simple heavy attack - DOT weaving. I could Google things, eat a meal or even have a conversation with people on the phone while DPSing a boss with yawn-inducing damage.

    I'm kidding, but really, even if that damage would grow by a lot with more buffs and debuffs provided in a raid setting, it's still not my thing.

    My stamblade has enough passive and active self buffs and burst damage to keep things moving fast in the situations I encounter, even on the PTS. I'm changing my Stam DK into a magic/stam hybrid heavy armor turtle, which is actually a bit more fun.
